Cork GAA Discussion Thread

The curse of Gerald mccarthy if u believe in those things goes on

Even with Frank gone i do wonder is it still the old job for the boys thing going on in the county board? Looking at our campaign we blew a massive lead against Clare in Ennis, beat a Tipp team that got a man sent off before the throw in down the Pairc, we got destroyed by Limerick in the Gaelic Grounds, and i was nervous enough at one stage in the Waterford game.

The Munster Final in the Gaelic Grounds was an epic occasion though and i do think a tougher game from Dublin in the semi final would've been more beneficial for us. Tipp had an epic battle against Kilkenny in their semi final after all.

In the other all Ireland defeats it was a combination of not being good enough and just being unlucky on the day, but today as well as Tipperary upping it big time in the second half was a total and utter mental collapse from Cork. Two points in an entire half of hurling! We're now the laughing stock of Ireland and for a proud county like us that's a pretty galling thing!

It doesn't matter what we win underage all Irelands, League titles and Munster titles i'd never trust a Cork team again until they finally get the job done in an all Ireland final. I like to be as positive as possible but i think we've missed the boat for now, and i fear we won't get another chance to make amends for this for another couple of years now.

It's quite simple really whether it's players or managers, the best available is what should be picked!! If nice guys win that's grand but this bunch have failed now quite significantly two years in a row.

Horgan is spent, just like O Mahony in the rugby. This year was a year too far for both of them.

Bring in some new blood and go again

What do prove mean by "hype"? The media generated hype, is that it?

Cork weren't motoring in the first half. The 6 point lead glossed over the fact Tipp had a tactical stranglehold on a lot of the first half of the game.

Pat Ryan's team just got beaten 3-14 to 0-02 in a half of hurling on thr biggest day of the year, and you're arguing he deserves an All Ireland!?

99 times out of 100, the team that wins is the team that deserves it. I'm a Mayo man, so I know all about the pain of losing finals, but there's no point trying to kid yourself that they "deserve an All Ireland".

And by the way, Mayo have lost plenty of finals, but never did they have a collapse like that. Sorry, not meaning to put the boot in, but that was quite incredible system failure today.

Sorry wrong thread...

Tipp missed a lot but I felt cork missed a lot of pointed efforts in the first half too. First few mins they'd 3 bad point efforts alone.

Considering cork have 200 odd clubs 1500 at a club match is a decent attendance? It might look bad compared to some Ulster clubs who have huge attendances.

the Atlanta Falcons be glad that Cork have taken the biggest meltdown in sports history away from them .

Unfortunately we have to take this slagging...its deserved. Cork are now the new Mayo...

1000 to 1500 is what we get for clare club football games at senior level average its nearly double that for hurling

I actually support the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. Unlike the poor Falcons though at least Cork have plenty of past success to fall back on!

not after that, Cork are now in the not really serious contenders until you win it category unfortunately irrespective of what happens during a season.

3 final losses in 5 years and a collapse that the pundits can’t explain will do that

I think Cork are by themselves here, at least Mayo showd up on the big day . What happened us Sunday was a total meltdown

mgmt have to go. You can’t turn that around as a mgmt team, you can get back to a final but are unlikely to win it.

Players are potentially there to win it but needs a mgmt clean out.
